Boxing News 2014: Floyd Mayweather Denies Fight With Pacquiao; Threatens To Remove Dad From Money Team Over Wrong Info
The drama behind the dream match between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao took two dramatic turns on Friday when Money May not only denied such a match would take place in 2015, but he even threatened to remove his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr, from the Money Team.
The reason behind the threat is the elder Mayweather's confirmation on Wednesday that the dream match is a sure thing.
"Well, my father is totally wrong ... Like I said before, we have people constantly being removed from the Mayweather Promotion team, Team Mayweather, and we also have people being removed from The Money Team. I want my dad to be with my team, but if he continues to go out there and speak on things that he has no knowledge about without communicating with me, then I must get a new trainer. I'm just saying when Pacquiao was sleeping, everybody was like, 'Y'all crazy for trying to make that Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.' You know what's so crazy? I just look at the situation like this, ever since Ariza left Pacquiao, he hasn't had a knockout. What a coincidence!"
